What would be best scope rings for 300 prc?
Looking at
Nightforce xtrm
Hawkins precision with offset level
UM premier rings
Also considering warn mountain tech

I would like an anti cant level if there are other better options.

Those are all good options generally. Need to know what scope and rifle.

I chose the NF ultralight rings for my new build in Defiance AnTiX and Maven RS1.2.

The NX8 is a great scope. I have the 2.5-20 on a 7-6.5PRC. I wish I had gotten the 4-32 for the addition mounting length and magnification at the range. 4x is low enough.

UM rings are great and the bubble level attachment is in a good spot. I like to mount my scope tube bubble levels upside down so I can read them while still in the scope.

Steiner and Zeiss make some good looking rings with bubble level in them. I’ve use the Steiner rings and they are solid. I haven’t used the Zeiss rings.

If weight is not an issue, Spuhr makes a couple great mounting solutions.

How do you like the maven? Maven 3.2 was also another option I was looking at or even trijicon tenmile?

Dont spend a ton of money on a scope and rifle and put garbage rings on it. NF , Seekins, Warne Mountain Tech etc.

Have you ever noticed most of the new premium rings don’t look all that different - funny how they are only cosmetically a little off from these mark 4 rings from the 1980’s. 40 years without a redesign. Lol

I still use these in steel for most rifles and aluminum for skinny barreled guns. I like variety, but don’t see a reason to switch.

Yup I get that, more looking for info on something that is reliable and won’t slip with recoil from 300 prc.

I may 100% be over thinking this but I rather get it right first time and not have to worry bout it again.

Your not over thinking it. That's why your spending what you are on a custom rifle and scooe right? You wanted something reliable with good accuracy. ( you can get that now a days without going custom, but that's a whole different discussion). Your most likely weak point to ruin all that is going to be buying a cheap scope and cheap rings. Save yourself the headache and pay the money. It's a tough pill to swallow sometimes but 100% worth it.
